1 lemon, grated rind and juice



Beat egg whites stiff with a pinch of salt.


Beat egg yolks very well. Slowly add sugar, then add wine, lemon and orange juice and peel. Mix and add cocoa and coffee (dissolved in 4 oz hot water and let cool.) (If you only drink real coffee, pour ½ cup of real coffee and dissolve the cocoa in that.)
